Salvo's Tin Food & Blanket Ride

The day started out great, unlike the last few years for this event which were wet.

It was sunny and warm and about 30 bikes from the Branch met at Hexham McDonalds, along with a couple of 4 wheeled varieties, for the short ride to Sandgate Markets.

Unfortunately, we were in a 4 wheeled variety as the Rocket didn't want to fire up!   Brian was not happy.

    Partial crowd shot

There were around 300 bikes in all taking off on the ride through Mayfield, into Newcastle and finally to the carpark at Bar Beach.

The Salvo’s van was quickly filled with blankets and tinned food thanks to the generosity of all the bikers attending.

    Speeches

A few quick speeches and it was all over.

Thank you to all those that attended and donated generously to those less fortunate than ourselves.
